BAM: Empowering African Accelerators

Challenge

In emerging startup ecosystems, accelerators and tech hubs face the challenge of supporting startups while being 'startups' themselves, often struggling to find their own sustainable business models.

BAM: EMPOWERING AFRICAN ACCELERATORS has been specially designed to empower accelerators to amplify their impact and support the region’s future entrepreneurs.

Approach

Together with 500 Global, we have designed a unique and comprehensive program including a 1-week intensive bootcamp as well as a 12-month sustainability track where hub managers will be coached by experienced 500 Global mentors to hone their strategy and keep track of their progress.

Goal

The program is designed to support Accelerator Managers across Africa to run a world-class hub and find a sustainable program model that works in their ecosystem. In addition, the Hubs will improve their networks and community reach both regionally and globally.
